Do you gift books for Christmas?
Do you have anyone on your gift list who goes for great reads?
Don't get cynical. Great reads make great gifts, and horror isn't necessarily verboten just because the season is supposedly merry.
Some readers really enjoy horror, suspense, thrills and other such spooky shenanigans!
Gifting them with a read that hits home among their favorites, is a way to impress them that you care.
The Fosterical Fifedom of Fright (Rob's Author Page) is just the starting point to become your family's Christmas Star of Gifting!
Evil is reborn. Henry Armitage, grandson of the man who vanquished the cosmic anti-deity Yog Sothoth a century ago, finds himself at Miskatonic University, in search of the mysterious Necronomicon... after surveillance cameras at his own Boston College reveal their copy being stolen – by someone bearing an unnerving resemblance to historical descriptions of Wilbur Whateley, thought to be long dead. Armitage’s fears double, when he discovers a neo-satanic faction of the U.S. Military exists in an underground annex below Miskatonic. They have located the Sleeper of R’lyeh – Cthulhu – and plan to waken, and weaponize him, to pull mankind back to the dark age of ethereal galactic rule upon the Earth! Henry Armitage must prevent the redawning of an evil from beyond the cosmic veil, aided by a monster his grandfather battled, and a rogue group of Miskatonic faculty! Rob Foster creates a modern-day Lovecraftian nightmare – soaked in future technology and ancient blood. The rational and the incredible collide in unholy battle; a tale that will keep you awake, with the lights on – to the last word, which may not be the last.
MURDER SHE LAUGHED
This book will keep you up at night… unwilling to stop reading, desperately in need to find out who survives, who gets away with the vilest of acts, and who walks away without a whisper of suspicion. Or you’ll simply lie in bed, staring into the darkness… wondering, dreading, unable to find relief even in the privacy of your own thoughts. The terrors, manmade or otherwise, are relentless in a world where blood, and alliances no matter how loyal or grudging, are cheap. Whom can you trust when surrounded by strangers with unknown intentions? Or completely alone in a landscape of peril? How confident are you of your own resourcefulness amid a maze of killers? Long lost tales of the famous and infamous dubiously light the way to your escape, in this nerve-rattling anthology. Sherlock Holmes faces his own unending nightmare in 'The Sleeper Rises,' and the forever elusive Zodiac Killer resurfaces to solve, and keep hidden, his own identity in 'Mr. A, Alias Mr. Z'… plus other spine shivering tales of horrible revelation and mind-bending visions of mysteries past and future. Stay awake! Beware of what lurks just around that dark corner.
YOU CAN RUN
"They are beyond anything you can do... except run." – 'Henry' (last known words)
Who are they? What are they? The world of supernatural lore knows them only as "marchers." Ancient ethereal predators from beyond the veil. For centuries they have hunted humans, silently, relentlessly. With no concept of mercy, they cannot be pleaded with, and pursue their victims to the death – those whom by unholy mischief or betrayal, become marked. Once a marcher has latched on, the hunted have only one option – to run, for as long as possible, with a desperation to pass the mark onto some other unwitting soul, and hope the new victim can as well, lest the mark fall back to them after that person is caught and devoured.Troy Terrill, a young upstart in the game of paranormal investigation, finds himself the only hope of not one, but two cursed people with marchers on their trail. Can he rid them of their pursuing abominations? Can anyone? Don't dwell upon the answer too deeply, the act of pondering a marcher gives it your scent.
From the darkest bowels of space, they come for the tenth and final time, on an ultimate mission of conquest and destruction! Can yet another band of brave humans, armed with just their wits and determination as Americans, turn back the horrible tide of invasion? The answer will amaze and surprise!
Written in the epic style of the master himself, Ed Wood... this is it – the Literary Event of the Year. Okay, maybe the season. Maybe the month. Would ya believe, the weekend?
Priced to sell, to enjoy, to read and gift.
And don't overlook the book that the late great New York Post writer and photographer Mary E. Allen said was "scary — I had to take breaks to catch my breath."
Pull up your favorite reading lamp and turn off the alarm clock. You'll want to avoid bedtime anyway, once you delve into these six (count 'em… six) astonishing tales of chrono-chaos. There's historical chicanery, aliens, confused scientists, mysterious strangers… even a dinosaur! Why put off reading this 'til the "time is right?"
